Right. God forbid that users get the hundreds of real productivity 
improvements in SP1 because they may have to use File/Open (CMO-o) on a 
few (or even a lot of) files...

Sorry, but that sounds remarkably like the IT guys I've known who 
thought that all those hundreds of other people working in the business 
existed to allow them to play with their servers.

Maybe I'm missing something - perhaps your users store all their files 
on the desktop and can't or don't use menus or keyboard shortcuts. In 
that case, I can see why you'd think that the advanced features, like 
formatting, charts, picture handling, keyboard compatibility, being able 
to open XL07 workbooks, page break manipulation, second displays, proper 
date formats, sync services stability, SSL v3 authentication, no longer 
duplicating contacts when syncing, proper font sizes, etc., etc., etc., 
aren't worth it.
